Review of 'So Delicious' Mint Marble Fudge Organic Quart

So Delicious -- Mint Marble Fudge (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: I wasn't overly impressed with this flavour. The mint was definitely the star of the show and the fudge flavour was overshadowed. It was not icy, but it was quite hard rather than soft and creamy. I think this is best for those who are big mint lovers rather than the general 'ice cream'-consuming population!

My brother tried this and said it tasted like mouthwash :/ While I would disagree (dude, it's not *that* bad), I think it just summed up the fact that this flavour may be best suited specifically to mint lovers. Maybe if there was a stronger fudge flavour or a strong chocolate flavour to balance out the mint, it would be better. I couldn't actually have this dessert on its own and feel satisfied. I had to add granola bits to it...and it still wasn't very satisfying.

The texture was better than some of the other organic quart flavours (e.g. Chocolate Velvet) because it wasn't at all icy. But it was so hard that I bent the spoon trying to scoop it!

So, I wouldn't buy this again but I'd recommend it for mint-loving folks.
